Li With Huge Lead; Huang Takes a Bite
We missed a huge hand that played out between Weizhou Zha and chipleader Yonglun Li but things evidently went Li��s way as he had a stack of over 4 million in front of him, while Zha had dropped to 800,000 or so.
We were in the process of counting up Li��s stack when he played an all-in pot against Huang Qien. Pre-flop it was Li who was the initial raiser, making it 100,000 to go from under-the-gun and action folded around to Huang on the button who moved all-in for a little over 205,000. Li called instantly and the cards were turned over.
Huang Qien: 
Yonglun Li: 
Li seemed shocked when Huang turned over his seven-high, but Qien obviously knew something Li did not �C he was going to smash the flop��
The dealer spread the 
flop to giggles from the rest of the table, and the 
locked in the double for Qien and gave him a straight. The 
made an appearance on the river to give Li top pair, but arrived a little too late to make a difference. Qien now has 410,000 while Li still has heaps of chips and is sitting on a stack of 3.9 million.
